Netflix Gives Behind-The-Scenes Access Like Never Before With BEHIND THE CURTAIN: STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW

If you have ever wanted to see how the sausage gets made and be in the room where it happens, now is your chance. Directed by Jon Halperin, Netflix is giving viewers a special peak behind the curtain to see how the creative team raced against the clock to open Stranger Things: The First Shadow on the West End back in 2023. 

I caught a screening of the film last night at the Paris Theater here in Midtown and it's an astonishing and incredibly candid look into the making of a major theatrical production unlike anything I have seen before. A truly fly-on-the-wall look following producer Sonia Friedman, writer Kate Trefry, directors Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, and the entire cast and crew from early workshops, auditions, tech, all the way through to opening night. 

Watch the trailer below:

Stranger Things: The First Shadow officially opens on Broadway tonight. 

In 1959 Hawkins, Indiana, the Creel family seeks a fresh start, especially their teenage son Henry, who is eager to escape his troubled past. Initially, things go well — he finds friendship and joins the school play. But when a wave of shocking crimes strikes the town, Henry is forced to confront a terrifying truth: is there something inside him that connects him to the horrors unfolding around him? 

As this thrilling mystery races forward, shadows of the past are unleashed, relationships are tested, and the town of Hawkins faces the ultimate question: can the power of friendship outshine the darkness within?

With an incredible cast of 34, this gripping stand-alone adventure will pull you deep into the world of Stranger Things. Experience the heart-pounding excitement of STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW—where suspense and spectacle lurk at every turn.
